Well...thanks for pointing out why you like Rex. However your 5 points are what should be seen/expected/liked about ANY running back in D-1...hell...any division of football. If you can't find seams (not seems), don't run hard, can't block, can't catch and are slow...you probably are a lineman, or don't play football.
Really? Oh - OK I forgot that we are 7 backs deep with great blockers, great pass catchers and guys that can find the SEEMS. Why don't you show me some stats on all those backs, excluding Helu, when Rex was down? Maybe our 3-7 string RB's should move to the offensive line ASAP.
Also regarding your point on Marlon Lucky...he WOULD HAVE BEEN ONE OF THE BEST backs to play at NU?!?! Hmmm...call me crazy, but unless you mean to say THE BEST EVER WITHOUT QUESTION, I'm pretty sure these numbers qualify him as ONE OF the best.
I actually liked Lucky, my point was that even though he did have a good career his field vision was below average. How many times did Lucky scamper behind the line and eventually get tackled for a loss? What I was trying to say is that Rex has great field vision he is always moving forward, if Lucky would have had that ability he would have probably been one of the top 5.
Do you really think that Lucky was one of the best backs ever at NU? Really? Yes I saw the stats and I don't care.
